It’s the first Friday of March, and it’s a good day for me to share some happy things from my week.
1. Just when I was starting to think that spring was right around the corner, I woke up to this:
I’m not complaining; I think the snow is beautiful!
2. While out for a walk one day, I spotted this American flag waving in the breeze. In spite of everything going on in our country right now, I’m STILL very thankful for this flag and the freedoms it represents.
3. Some of you know that I collect vintage Pyrex. I was in an antique store one day and spotted a bowl that I needed to complete one of my Butterprint sets, but it was being sold with two other bowls that I didn’t need. I asked the manager to call the vendor to see if she would be willing to sell me just the one bowl, and the vendor agreed! I was excited to be able to complete my set and get the bowl for a really great price.
4. Cantaloupe is one of my favorite breakfast fruits. I bought one this week hoping it would be good, and it tasted so sweet and fresh.?
5. This past October, a teen in our community was paralyzed after a suffering a spinal cord injury. He’s been in various hospitals ever since the accident, most recently at one in Atlanta. He’s on his way home today, which is such a miracle! He still has a long road ahead of him and will be going back into the hospital in a few months, but we are excited that he has made enough progress to be able to go home. I would appreciate it if all of my praying friends would lift up Trevor and his parents today. He’s such an amazing young man!
The snow looks pretty but I’m glad we haven’t had any this year! What luck with the bowl! It’s great when you find something like that.
We’ve had some back and forth weather, 60s one day, and then one day this week we had snow, but thankfully it didn’t stick. I agree with your #2. How neat about being able to get the bowl to complete your set! My prayers go out for Trevor and his family. My pastor has been in a wheelchair since an accident paralyzed him years ago (http://bobbymccoy.com/). He was in a hospital in Atlanta while recovering – maybe even the same one. Recovering from such a thing is such a long road.
I always enjoy what you share. We are seeing signs of Spring here in Oregon – brought on by the Spring rains. I’m with you, dear friend – I am SO proud to be an American! I sang at a military funeral recently and when the flag was presented I almost burst into applause. Love your new piece of Pyrex. That’s such a cute pattern. I will definitely pray for Trevor and for continued progress and good days ahead for him and his family.

I love vintage Pyrex, too. So glad you were able to complete your set.
I will lift up Trevor’s name right now.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I love your list of favorites. Prayers for Trevor! We’re having lovely warm weather here in Colorado, it feels like spring already. But it’s too early and we desperately need the moisture of another good snowfall or two. Trying to be patient!
When I saw your snowy woods photo, I had to search around find out where you live (not particularly successful) because my dd lives in MD and she posted snowy photos on facebook. She has amazed herself and everyone else that the San Diego beach girl could learn to love winter and snow.
Good news for Trevor to be home for awhile. Praying for him.
